The ...JOHN- MANY thanks for your dead-on analysis. The big difference I see between Suzie K. and Erik Kusillyass is that Suzie K. is a real professional and tries to do a quality job - whereas it is clear the Butcher of N-NOW feels NASCAR racing is not that important and beneath him. I fear he is a cruel joke at ESPN as I heard him on its Sunday morning show right before I changed the channel. Dan Patrick's leaving and the silly BRONX IS BURNING demonstrate that there is a real problem at ESPN and that "entertainment?" is being given more emphasis than quality and reporting.Richard in NCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-49835803884314337302007-07-15T13:15:00.000-04:002007-07-15T13:15:00.000-04:00ESPN was much improved over past times.

I'm glad they didn't sign off 15 minutes early like some other networks (wonder who that could be?)<BR/><BR/>Suzy running the pre-race isn't any better than Brent, atleast Brent can make it funny, ha. If they got rid of Suzy, they really would have something going here.<BR/><BR/>The only thing I don't agree with Mr. Daly, is I think I could still count the number of cars they showed all race on my fingers.<BR/><BR/>The commercial with 15 to go under green was kind of odd, but the solid race and awesome post - race without a doubt made up for it.Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02009046883462925303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-62173123112430919772007-07-15T13:02:00.000-04:002007-07-15T13:02:00.000-04:00I thought Suzy did better than I expected and seem...I thought Suzy did better than I expected and seemed to be trying hard so I will be patient with her.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, but Rusty Wallace is a poor choice to me for in the booth...he seems to have an arrogance/annoyance facter in his voice...tha makes me annoyed with him!! Put AB in the booth and it would be great.<BR/><BR/>I SECOND the font and it being DIFFICULT to read on a 25 or 30 inch tv...who picks these fonts? 12 year olds with great vision? I like my numbers clean and without extra curves.<BR/><BR/>I thought they did much better in Chicago but the interruptions during the race to show us other things annoys me...LET ME SEE THE CARS PLEASE.<BR/><BR/>Aside from the fact that his "sponsor Shilling" gets really old ...I would rather have M Waltrip in the booth...I enjoy him for the truck races and he seems to have fun with the guys in the booth though I know many do not like the guy.<BR/><BR/>But Rusty is just an IRRITANT to me...like he is always disgusted and he always seesm angry at Steve his son, ...and from the interviews I have seen with Steven, Rusty must be hell to live with always yelling at Steve over dinner about what he did wrong. SHEESH.<BR/><BR/>Also, I must say please get rid of Brad D...I can not figure out why he is there as he says the most insipide things or repeats whats JUST been said by somebody else?<BR/><BR/>I was all set to be really irritated with Suzy but at one part early in the broadcast, I could see she was listening intently to somebody talking in her ear and her eyes briefly looked at the camera and it dawned on me: We may be all screaming at ESPN to get somebody else but SHE was "Assigned" the gig...so am going to try and adapt to her with no whining.<BR/><BR/>Except, get rid of the mullet haircut or pull your hair back, Suzy...it was not really flattering and you have a great face for tv! Not a catty remark...I just kept wanting to walk up to the tv and get her layered hair off her face! lol<BR/><BR/>:-)SophiaZ123http://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-30045187317515432602007-07-15T10:48:00.000-04:002007-07-15T10:48:00.000-04:00I agree with anonymous...Rusty is hard to watch!

I'm dreading having to listen to him the rest of the season.I think ESPN needs to put Rusty in the pits and Bestwick in the booth.nancylovesnascarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-23909458662332441142007-07-15T09:28:00.000-04:002007-07-15T09:28:00.000-04:00Can someone explain to me the point of goinf to th...Can someone explain to me the point of goinf to the infield studio for a recap every 25 laps?

Rusty needs to calm down, he knows racing but gets too excited. Andy Petree and Dr. Punch are really good. My biggest complaint now is the numbers telling what spot the drivers are in are VERY difficult to read. They need to get a better font, or make it larger.

That is what needs to happen EVERY week unless they are wayyy over on their alloted time slot. They have showed improvement all season long, I only wish NASCAR Now was as organized. Suzie made minor mistakes, but that was probably expected for it only being her second broadcast. If she can show improvement all season long like the rest of the ESPN crowd has, I think the fans will be more accepting if ESPN decides to keep her in that role next year. I would rather them use only one "ESPN" personality over the course of the season rather then start the year with Brent and then switch to her. Use Suzie for the big Busch races on ABC and all of the Cup races, leave Brent where he is at home.Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06048709313597675807noreply@blogger.com
